Employee Owners of Vermont helps combat hunger in sixth annual fundraiser

In celebration of Employee Ownership Month, the Employee Owners of Vermont, an active group of local employee-owned companies, raised just under $30,000 in October for the group’s sixth annual fundraiser for the Vermont Foodbank.

Every dollar raised throughout the fundraiser has been donated directly to the Vermont Foodbank to support the organizations work in providing meals for those in our communities facing hardship.

The employee ownership journey at Alliance Group

Our mission at VEOC is to “promote and foster employee ownership” in Vermont. Sometimes, that means providing support and education so that a business can successfully make the transition to ownership by its employees. Other times, it means identifying resources or creating opportunities to help existing employee-owned companies respond to a challenge. And on occasion we have the chance to provide assistance to entrepreneurs ready to launch a new business with employee ownership built in from the start.
